Yes, though people also welcome the extra cash back or other card benefits.
Apple Card does not sell this data, IIRC. But offers a lower cash back than many other cards.

I'm probably not reading this properly, can you say that a different way?
Google buys transaction data from credit card companies (Visa, Mastercard, etc). They almost certainly know what you spend money on
For every 20 Americans with a credit card, 17 have all their purchases sent to Google.
How on earth is this legal
Things that aren't explicitly made illegal are legal. Who would invest the resources necessary to get a law banning this passed?
Corporations are people, too.
